The Surrey Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is one of 37 nationally protected landscapes in England, and was one of the first landscapes to be designated an AONB in 1958, with its beauty being considered equivalent to that of a National Park.
This nationally treasured landscape stretches across a quarter of the county of Surrey and includes the chalk slopes of the North Downs from Farnham in the west to Oxted in the east and extends south to Haselmere.
Cycling is the ideal way to see and experience the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The huge success of the 2012 Olympics has seen an influx in cyclists visiting the area along with the annual Ride Prudential race and sportive weekend.
Famous climbs such as Box Hill, Leith Hill and Whitedown are all within a short ride and can be conquered on a memorable day out in the saddle.
The Surrey Hills are easily accessible to London with a short train journey taking you out to Epsom from London Waterloo. It is also easily accessible by car, just off the M25 junction 9.
